if you have eliminated the possibility of a virus/malware, then the problem
could possibly be a faulty power supply. is the server rebooting at
specified intervals or randomly? if it reboots at a specified time, such as
5 minutes after power on, then i would think that the processor was
overheating. however, since you said that the machine is not overheating, i
am thinking it may be a faulty/failing power supply. one indication of a
faulty/failing power supply could be weird errors and random, sporadic shut
downs/reboots. do you have a known-good power supply you can use to
troubleshoot?

Hope this helps.
